AVIA Marino crystal needed


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I need a special lipped crystal for this watch. It is 31.6 mm in dia not including the lipped part which the bezel has to clip over, that part is roughly 32.5 but most of it is missing so that is a guesstimate. As you can see from my crude drawing it is 2mm deep from under the lip. I am about to start searching the cousins crystals but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would say that Cousins has these... But I don't know what they're called.

Stepped crystals ?

i think i may have found it, xac316560 in the doc section g22 page 35 in cousins. the measurements match although it is hard to see if it is a stepped crystal, but they give a measurment upto what i assume is a lip so ive orderd one fingers crossed.

I’ve my fathers avia Marino divers watch which he used while a diver in his younger days , I’ve recently lost my father and wanted to get this restored as it’s all I have left of him and have fond memories of it as a child. 

For a complete restoration, including the all-important movement servicing, gasket replacement, case refinishing, etc. you will need to give or send the watch to a good professional, you can start searching online.

Hello everybody,

first of all let me thank you for your indirect support in finding the glass on cousin by reading your post.

i own an avia marino chrono but unfortunately neither the glass nor the bezel are their original one. While i've already bought the glass on cousin, i'm facing trouble in finding his original bezel or a bezel which can be adapted to.

Already asked to cousin with no luck. Hope someone could help me.

Many thanks in advance

Leo from Italy

    • Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line. 
    • Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey
    • It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.
    • Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
